There was a sense of urgency in my changes. A need for Re-alignment and Re-connection. Yet there is no magical pill: I'm still sitting here without a job and unclear of my future direction. However, I have complete faith in how the future will unfold. All I know is that I am where I am meant to be: and there is nothing I need (except cash!!). All my belongings are now safely stored at the family home. I am ready for new alignments.

There is no emotionality; in fact, the 'shifting'; or 'waking up'; or 're-aligning' - however we wish to call it - is, for me, about utilisation of energy. Without sufficient inner energy we are unable to make these changes.

Here's why - in my own understanding: we have allotted to our physical body a fixed amount of energy. Usually this energy is expended in our daily tasks; and expended at alarming rates through emotional thoughts/actions. Part of the 'entertainment/distraction' industry is to relieve us of our energy, leaving us with just enough to complete the average day (watch out for daytime soaps!). In order to make a push to shift our positioning we require surplus energy. And usually this surplus energy just isn't available - we are spent; energy-shriveled. By storing and retaining our own energies we are better equipped for 'breaking the spell'. Here lies one of the dangers in the saturation of mis-information and excessive negative fear-mongering: it depletes us before we have begun.

So, I did mention before (silly me!) that I had been working with some pointers for my own shift. I'd like to briefly summarise what I have been working with. I must emphasize that nothing I say is original; it's not 'mine' - nothing is 'ours'; and that we've all probably been working along the same lines without naming it. I'm just gonna put a few concepts into brief words. Perhaps we'll resonate along with the ride?

·Leave rational-conditioning at the door; don't invite the guest to stay!

·Shift away from assembly-line thinking; modern man is little other than the ‘Fordism of thinking’.

·Don’t discredit what may appear to be an affront to your beliefs, ideals, and reasoning; ie. don’t become your own barrier before you’ve even taken the first step. Take enjoyment in stepping out of yourself. Begin without prejudice.

·Reasoning often means finding a reason to continue believing what you already believe.

·Patience is a virtue – but only at the right time. Everything has its place.

Everyone is tied by invisible threads to everyone else: we are constantly in a state of invisible reciprocity. We need to remember that every act has an action & reaction. Everything we do, big or small, has a bearing and influence upon our future. We do not exist in a vacuum: we are in a sea of vibrant life.We are never alone: we are as near or as far as we make ourselves to be. It is often our illusion of separation that creates our attachment to materiality and escapist practices.Don’t fear separation – there is none. Don’t fear death – it is not the end. Don’t fear yourself – you are limitless. Don’t fear the future – may it be a time for transparency and expansion.De-activate your own fear. De-activate old programming, anxieties, and suppression.

These are some of the points I have been working with... so I'd thought I would share. Take them as a friendly chat; I know no more, no less than you...
